I am7 months post op and the last two months my hair is crazy falling out. I'm down 116 pounds and try so hard to get my protein everyday in case that is why. Even hitting my protein goal I'm still losing it bad. I thought they said that around this time it was supposed to turn around but my seems to have started and is very rapid. Anybody else having this issue. So nervous.

Thanks for this posting. Going through the same thing. Sleeved jan/2015 and my periods before surgery were right on every month. Since surgery get symptoms but never start on time. They also seemed to last a lot longer. Yuck!!!!! Hope it regulate soon.

I am 9 weeks out and having constipation. So frustrated. Anybody else? Any suggestions on how to handle this?

I felt the same way. Today I had the host for the first time post op and I am starting my third week out and purée phase. It was fine. During the liquid stage I just went up and got a blessing. Hope this helps

I'm 12 days post op and doing ok. I've read and heard a ton of different answers. Just wondering about one specifically. I heard that when getting the sleeve as opposed to the roux en y, you will not suffer from "dumping"? Any truth to this?

Way to go!!! You are such a great example of why I did this. Keep posting.

I am 11 days out and so so hungry. Feel like they didn't do the surgery. It's so hard making food for my family. Everything I cook smells like the most a,axing thing ever. I have no probs drinking anything. I want food!!!! I hope i feel full. I'm nervous that it won't work for me

I'm almost 1 week out and still feeling hungry all the time. I don't get it. I literally close my eyes during food commercials. You are not the only one

Thanks everybody. That all helps

I am 5 days out and following the menu given to me after the hospital. I feel very hungry still. I just had for lunch 1/4cup of cream of mushroom soup and 1/3 cup protein shake. I feel like I could have had a whole bowl of soup. Why do I not feel full?

Thanks everyone. I'm so nervous. Trying to go day by day. Thank you for all your messages. It is so comforting.

I don't think I am. As stupid as it sounds. I think they are all the normal aches and pain but for some reason I'm so scared of something going wrong or never having a "normal" life after. I know some things have to change but I just wanna feel normal. I'm a chicken to begin with. Obviously it's been only a couple days and I'm nervous about everything. The only problem that I did have was that orig I was scheduled to have the roux en y but due to a hernia on my belly bottom they opted for the sleeve.

Not sure if this is "normal". I've only been out of the hospital a couple days and wondering if this was the biggest mistake I've made. I'm feeling so frustrated and discouraged. I'm scared of leaks and the unknown. I keep checking to see if I have a fever. I feel warm but no fever seriously having panic attacks. Please tell me it will get better and when (roughly) I can look forward to that.

Thanks so much. All this input is so very helpful

That's great!!!! Thanks for sharing girl. Keep me posted with your surgery and great luck!!! Where do you buy those gas strips everybody is talking about?
